Student Summaries:
In this lesson we learned how to find the distance using the distance formula.

We also learned how to find the midpoint using the midpoint formula.

Student Summaries:
Ben R: To sum up Chapter 6-2, basically it talks about the what the definition of a Slope is, and What the slope of a line is. it also takes a trip on what the formula and how the formula for slope is used. and Finally it moves on to how its used in real life expirences.

Alissa D: In this chapter 6-2 we learned how to find the slope of the line, You can use two points to find the slope using the slope equation that is one way the other is rise over run. For any horizontal line the slope will be zero, for any vertical line the slope will be undifined

6-4: Write and Graph Linear Inequalities

Summary on iTunes

Student Summaries: Paul R. - in section 6-4 we learned how to write linear inequalities and graph them. To graph linear inequalities you have to have y on the left side of the equation with the inequality in front of the y. Then you graph the b and then move however many up or down or left or right from the starting point.

Alexis H. - section 6-4 talks about open half-plane, boundary,linear inequality,closed half-plane, and test point. we learned how to graph and where to shade.

6-5: Linear and Nonlinear Functions

Summary on iTunes

Student Summaries: Tony Y and Sam R, In section 6-5 we learned about Nonlinear and Linear Functions. Which has independent and dependent. Where you had to make a table of x and y to create an order pair. and than you graph. Also you use the vertical line test.


6-6: Graph Quadratic Functions

Student Summaries:

Derrik B.
- In section 6-6, we look at Quadratic Functions. A Quadratic Function is a nonlinear function that when written in standard form is a second-degree equation, which means that it has one squared term. The equation for y=Ax^2+Bx+C. Each time that you graph the points used in the quadratic function, you will end up seeing a parabola. A parabola is a U-shaped curve that has a vertex. On both sides of the vertex, the parabola must be symetrical to make the graph true for the function. How you do this, is quite simple. First, you make your x and y table. Then you just pick a number for x, and plug that number into the equation and solve it. Next, after you solve the equaion, you will hav a x point as well as a y point. You then just repeat this process until you have AT LEAST FIVE POINTS for your graph. Finally you then graph your points on the graph. Where might you see this in real life events? Sports, Phyisics, Agriculture and many other real life events.

6-7: Problem Solving Skills: Patterns and Functions

Summary on iTunes

Student Summaries:
Nick C & Mindy Z Today we went over patterns and function.We also learned that there is five steps to solving these problems. Those five steps are read, plan, solve, answer, and check. if you do these steps you will be able to solve the problem.

6-8: Direct Variation

Notes: Section 6-8 Student 0910.pdf

Summary on iTunes

Student Summaries:
Sabrina -- This chapter is about the formula [y=kx] and basically plug in the numbers and you figure it all out. It's not that hard.. also Im not positive that this may be very summarizey.. not very helpful.
Stephanie: When learning this lesson all you need is the two important formulas. These are the formula- direct variation y=kx and direct square variation y=kx^2. Then all you do is substitute the known values for the unknown values and solve.

6-9: Inverse Variation

Notes: Section 6-9 Student 0910.pdf

View a lesson summary here
Summary on iTunes

Student Summaries:

Inverse variation is used to figure out the status of something using other variables. For example using the weight of rope to figure out how longs that rope will be. Or as on thing gets bigger the other variable gets smaller. Like how the sound from a stereo speaker get smaller as the more distance there is from your ears to the speaker.
